Hate. Peace. Three emotions made the ply of human life." <i>Between the Acts </i>takes place on a June day in 1939 at Pointz Hall, the Oliver family's country house in the heart of England. In the garden, everyone from the village has gathered to present the annual pageant -- scenes from the history of England starting with the Middle Ages.

Through her characters' passionate musings and private dramas, and through the enigmatic figure of the pageant's author, Miss La Trobe, Virginia Woolf's final novel both celebrates and mocks Englishness. Even so, the coming of war looms over the whole community, heralding a new act.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>VIRGINIA WOOLF (1882-1941) was one of the major literary figures of the twentieth century.
